London .... memories so far......

So much to see and do that it becomes quite overwhelming and even more of a task is trying to put it all into words.

I have made a conscious effort to visit the main tourist attractions of London.  This place has so much history compared to back home, so much to take in.

An introduction to my arrival can be dated back to 27th of December 2007.  I moved in with 2 couples all Aussies and am still currently sharing a room with my younger sister which has worked out perfectly.  Flat is spacious and a palace in comparison to what I've seen so far.  51 Saint Paul's avenue is my home address in North West London.  Love it!! Have included photos to help paint a picture.  Very expensive to live here paying 350 pounds per month ouch....

Started teaching after 5 days of being in the country as London is one of the most expensive countries to live in the world.  Between 0 - 5 degrees for the first few months of arriving and saw snow for the first time !! Spent 6 weeks Monday to Friday teaching in a school on the outskirts of London in a place called Maidenhead.

Party party party on weekends having the best time ever.   Nightlife is amazing will need to bring my camera out more often to capture the craziness that goes on.
